Definitions

  • the invention is directed to methods of producing E-isomer enriched or Z-isomer enriched mixtures of ISA TX 247, and to method for the stereoselective synthesis of the E-isomer or Z-isomer of ISA TX 247.
  • Cyclosporine derivatives compose a class of cyclic polypeptides, consisting of eleven amino acids, that are produced as secondary metabolites by the fungus species Tolypocladium inflatum Gams. They have been observed to reversibly inhibit immunocompetent lymphocytes, particularly T-lymphocytes, in the G 0 or G 1 phase of the cell cycle. Cyclosporine derivatives have also been observed to reversibly inhibit the production and release of lymphokines (Granelli-Piperno et al., 1986). Although a number of cyclosporine derivatives are known, cyclosporine A is the most widely used. The suppressive effects of cyclosporine A are related to the inhibition of T-cell mediated activation events.
  • This suppression is accomplished by the binding of cyclosporine to the ubiquitous intracellular protein, cyclophilin.
  • This complex inhibits the calcium- and calmodulin-dependent serine-threonine phosphatase activity of the enzyme calcineurin.
  • Inhibition of calcineurin prevents the activation of transcription factors such as NFAT p/c and NF- ⁇ B, which are necessary for the induction of the cytokine genes ( IL-2, IFN- ⁇ , IL-4, and GM-CSF ) during T-cell activation.
  • Cyclosporine also inhibits lymphokine production by T-helper cells in vitro and arrests the development of mature CD8 and CD4 cells in the thymus (Granelli-Piperno et al., 1986).
  • Other in vitro properties of cyclosporine include the inhibition of IL-2 producing T-lymphocytes and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, inhibition of IL-2 released by activated T-cells, inhibition of resting T-lymphocytes in response to alloantigen and exogenous lymphokine, inhibition of IL-1 production, and inhibition of mitogen activation of IL-2 producing T-lymphocytes (Granelli-Piperno et al., 1986).
  • Cyclosporine is a potent immunosuppressive agent that has been demonstrated to suppress humoral immunity and cell-mediated immune reactions such as allograft rejection, delayed hypersensitivity, experimental allergic encephalomyelitis , Freund's adjuvant arthritis and graft vs. host disease. It is used for the prophylaxis of organ rejection subsequent to organ transplantation; for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis; for the treatment of psoriasis; and for the treatment of other autoimmune diseases, including type I diabetes, Crohn's disease, lupus, and the like.
  • cyclosporins Since the original discovery of cyclosporin, a wide variety of naturally occurring cyclosporins have been isolated and identified and many further non-natural cyclosporins have been prepared by total- or semi-synthetic means or by the application of modified culture techniques.
  • the class comprised by the cyclosporins is thus now substantial and includes, for example, the naturally occurring cyclosporins A through Z [c.f. Traber et al. (1977); Traber et al. (1982); Kobel et al. (1982); and von Wartburg et al.
  • cyclosporins including the dihydro- and iso-cyclosporins; derivatized cyclosporins (e.g., in which the 3'-O-atom of the -MeBmt- residue is acylated or a further substituent is introduced at the ⁇ -carbon atom of the sarcosyl residue at the 3-position); cyclosporins in which the -MeBmt-residue is present in isomeric form (e.g., in which the configuration across positions 6' and 7' of the -MeBmt-residue is cis rather than trans); and cyclosporins wherein variant amino acids are incorporated at specific positions within the peptide sequence employing, e.g., the total synthetic method for the production of cyclosporins developed by R.
  • derivatized cyclosporins e.g., in which the 3'-O-atom of the -MeBmt- residue is acyl
  • Immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-parasitic cyclosporin A analogues are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,384,996 ; 4,771,122 ; 5,284,826 ; and 5,525,590 , all assigned to Sandoz. Additional cyclosporin analogues are disclosed in WO 99/18120 , assigned to Isotechnika.
  • Ciclosporin, ciclosporin, cyclosporine, and Cyclosporine are interchangeable and refer to cyclosporin.
  • cyclosporine A therapy There are numerous adverse effects associated with cyclosporine A therapy; including nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, cataractogenesis, hirsutism, parathesis, and gingival hyperplasia to name a few (Sketris et al., 1995). Of these, nephrotoxicity is one of the more serious, dose-related adverse effects resulting from cyclosporine A administration. Immediate-release cyclosporine A drug products (e.g., Neoral® and Sandimmune® ) can cause nephrotoxicities and other toxic side effects due to their rapid release and the absorption of high blood concentrations of the drug. It is postulated that the peak concentrations of the drug are associated with the side effects (Bennett, 1998).
  • Neoral® and Sandimmune® can cause nephrotoxicities and other toxic side effects due to their rapid release and the absorption of high blood concentrations of the drug. It is postulated that the peak concentrations of the drug are associated with the side
  • Cyclosporin analogs containing modified amino acids in the 1-position are disclosed in WO 99/18120 , which is assigned to the assignee of the present application, and incorporated herein in its entirety. Also assigned to the present assignee is U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/346,201 , in which applicants disclosed a particularly preferred cyclosporin A analog referred to as "ISA TX 247.” This analog is structurally identical to cyclosporin A except for modification at the 1-amino acid residue. Applicants discovered that certain mixtures of cis and trans isomers of ISA TX 247 exhibited a combination of enhanced potency, and/or reduced toxicity over the naturally occurring and presently known cyclosporins. Certain alkylated, arylated, and deuterated derivatives of ISA TX 247 were also disclosed.
  • the disclosed mixtures in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/346,201 range from about 10 to 90 percent by weight of the trans-isomer and about 90 to 10 percent by weight of the cis -isomer; in another embodiment, the mixture contains about 15 to 85 percent by weight of the trans -isomer and about 85 to 15 percent of the cis -isomer; in another embodiment, the mixture contains about 25 to 75 percent by weight of the trans- isomer and about 75 to 25 percent by weight of the cis -isomer; in another embodiment, the mixture contains about 35 to 65 percent by weight of the trans -isomer and about 65 to 35 percent by weight of the cis -isomer; in another embodiment, the mixture contains about 45 to 55 percent by weight of the trans-isomer and about 55 to 45 percent of the cis -isomer.
  • the isomeric mixture is an ISA TX 247 mixture which comprises about 45 to 50 percent by weight of the trans-isomer and about 50 to 55 percent by weight of the cis- isomer. These percentages by weight are based on the total weight of the composition. In other words, a mixture might contain 65 percent by weight of the (E)-isomer and 35 percent by weight of the (Z)-isomer, or vice versa. In an alternate nomenclature, the cis -isomer may also be described as a (Z)-isomer, and the trans -isomer could also be called an (E)-isomer.
  • Cyclosporine and its analogs are members of a class of cyclic polypeptides having potent immunosuppressant activity. Despite the advantages these drugs offer with respect to their immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-parasitic activities, there are numerous adverse effects associated with cyclosporine A therapy that include nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity. Accordingly, there is a need for new immunosuppressive agents that are as pharmacologically active as the naturally occurring compound cyclosporin A, but without the associated toxic side effects.
  • isomeric mixtures of analogues of cyclosporine provide superior immunosuppressive effects without the adverse effects associated with cyclosporine A.
  • isomeric mixtures i.e., mixtures of both cis- and trans- isomers
  • ranging from about 10:90 to about 90: 10 (trans- to cis-) of cyclosporine analogues modified at the 1-amino acid residue provide superior efficacy and safety.
  • Examples of such analogues are disclosed in WO 99/18120 , and include deuterated and non-deuterated compounds.
  • mixtures in the range of about 45:55 to about 50:50 (trans- to cis-) and in the range of about 50% to about 55% trans- and about 45% to about 50% cis- are found to be particularly efficacious.
  • isomer mixtures exhibit a combination of superior potency and reduced toxicity over naturally occurring and other presently known cyclosporines and cyclosporine derivatives.
  • a particular analogue (referred to herein as "ISA TX 247") is structurally similar to cyclosporine A except for a modified functional group on the periphery of the molecule, at the 1-amino acid residue.
  • the structure of this particular isomeric analogue mixture compared to the structure of cyclosporine A is shown in FIGS. 1A , 1B , 2A, 2B .
  • the isomeric mixtures can be used, among other things, for immunosuppression, and the care of various immune disorders, diseases and conditions, including the prevention, control, alleviation and treatment thereof.
  • ISA TX 247 isomers are synthesized by stereoselective pathways that may vary in their degree of selectivity.
  • Stereoselective pathways produce compositions that are enriched in either of the (E) and (Z)-isomers, and these compositions may be combined such that the resulting mixture has a desired ratio of the two isomers.
  • the reactions conditions of a stereoselective pathway may be tailored to produce the desired ratio directly in a prepared mixture. The percentage of one isomer or another in a mixture can be verified using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) or other techniques well known in the art.
  • NMR nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
  • the ratio of the (E) to (Z)-isomers in any mixture may take on a broad range of values.
  • the mixture may comprise from about 10 to 90 percent of the (E)-isomer to about 90 to 10 percent of the (Z)-isomer.
  • the mixture may contain from about 15 to 85 percent by weight of the (E)-isomer and about 85 to 15 percent of the (Z)-isomer; the mixture contains about 25 to 75 percent by weight of the (E)-isomer and about 75 to 25 percent by weight of the (Z)-isomer; the mixture contains about 35 to 65 percent by weight of the (E)-isomer and about 65 to 35 percent by weight of the (Z)-isomer; the mixture contains about 45 to 55 percent by weight of the (E)-isomer and about 55 to 45 percent of the (Z)-isomer.
  • the isomeric mixture may be an ISA TX 247 mixture which comprises about 45 to 50 percent by weight of the (E)-isomer and about 50 to 55 percent by weight of the (Z)-isomer. These percentages by weight are based on the total weight of the composition, and it will be understood that the sum of the weight percent of the (E)-isomer and the (Z)-isomer is 100 weight percent. In other words, a mixture might contain 65 percent by weight of the (E)-isomer and 35 percent by weight of the (Z)-isomer, or vice versa.
  • the invention is directed to a method of producing an E-isomer enriched mixture of ISA TX 247, wherein the stereoselective synthesis of the E-isomer enriched material comprises the steps of: reacting an acetyl cyclosporin A aldehyde with a reagent selected from the group consisting of ⁇ -(trialkylsilylallyl) boronate ester and E- ⁇ -(trialkylsilylallyl) dialkylborane to form a ⁇ -trialkylsilyl alcohol; treating the ⁇ -trialkylsilyl alcohol with acid to form acetyl-(E)-cyclosporin-1,3-diene; and treating the acetyl-(E)-cyclosporin-1,3-diene with base to form the (E)-isomer of ISA TX 247.

According to this chemistry, the union of two prochiral centers of achiral molecules creates two centers of chirality.
  • a general rule governing the stereoselective outcome is that Z-configured enolates or crotyl metal compounds preferentially form syn-adducts, while E-configured reagents favor the anti-diastereomers.

Instead, as shown in FIG. 8 , the lithio derivative 82 may be reacted with the aldehyde 51 to produce the lithium containing transition state 83, which forms the 1,3-diene in E/Z ratios in a range greater than approximately 75:25. As in FIG.
  • the high stereoselectivity of the reaction product is possibly due to the transition state 83, in which the vinyl group of the lithium reagent 82 and the cyclosporin A side chain of the aldehyde 51 are postulated to occupy equatorial positions, thereby producing the (E)-1,3-diene 84 in a stereoselective manner.
